Re: Long Life skillet, just a cheaper Wagner?Reply #3 - Jan 16th, 2014 at 7:01pm

Hi Roger, my thought too but there was a lengthy article on the members' only side that discussed some time lines based on old Sears and Wards catalogs that shows crossover. The Puritan line of Sears was made by a couple different foundries over the years, Wagner did the Wards Way and Wards Cast for Wards but it looked like some of their other unmarked items went to Sears. Chicago Hardware Foundry is also believed to have made pieces for Sears.
